Abstract
A method performed by a first network node for handling communication in a wireless communications network. The first network node receives a data packet with a header including an indicated destination, with a BAP address, and one or more values interpreted by the first network node as reserved or unknown. The first network node checks whether the first network node is an intended destination of the data packet based on the indicated destination in the header. With the proviso that the first network node is not the intended destination of the data packet and the BAP address is not included in the configured backhaul, BH, routing configuration, the first network node discards the data packet; and else, processes the data packet.
